    It’s from the first line of this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_shield

    A human shield is a non-combatant (or a group of non-combatants) who either volunteers or is forced to shield a legitimate military target in order to deter the enemy from attacking it.

      Jesus H. Fucking Christ… is anything penetrating through that right-wing brain-rot addled head of yours?

      It is utterly impossible to use “human shields” against a GENOCIDAL state for the oh-so-fucking obvious reason that said GENOCIDAL state is GENOCIDAL and wouldn’t give a damn about (supposed) “human shields.”

      You might just as well tell me that a Jewish guy in Auschwitz could use another Jewish guy in Auschwitz as a hostage to stay out of the gas chambers.

            There’s just a small issue. We know they have and are still using the human shields.

            It might be a stupid tactic but it’s not a good idea to bet against stupidity. And I don’t think it’s necessary that stupid. For Hamas, if the civilians give them cover then that’s good and if not, it looks bad for Israel. Sorta win-win, especially since they don’t really seem to care about those civilian lives.

                  Again (for the terminally white supremacist).
